1 large orange bell pepper, chopped

1 large avocado, peeled and cut into 8 wedges (optional)
16-oz jar(s) salsa, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Spray a 6-quart crock pot with nonstick spray (or add crock pot liner to slow cooker crockery).
  • 2. Heat water into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until water has evaporated.

  • 6. Cover crock pot, set heat level to Low, and cook for 7 to 8 hours (internal temperature should reach 160°F). Garnish each serving with a generous spoonful of salsa and a slice of avocado on the side, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your casserole the best flavor.
